That's missplaced idealism. You should very much use the soapboxes you created to tell people about news. This is "industry" news for people who are interested in capp. I go to capp.org regularly and see no changes and assume that progress

Mysql/innodb lays out the data on disk in sort order of the primary key. If you use GUIDs as primary key it will have to re-write the entire disk layout every time you insert. Just use auto inc IDs, they are by far the best option as long a
